Matsushima (松島)![]() Designer: Tsuchiya Koitsu | Carver: Noriko Kawasaki | Printer: Kenichi Kubota Paper size: 27.5cm by 20cm | Enlargement | Shipping Code: [L] ? ( Change currency: $ / £ / € ) Price: ![]() ![]() Description: This design was originally published by the Doi Hanga company in 1936, and Mokuhankan for a few years was producing editions using their block set (paying them a royalty to do so). But that set gradually became more difficult to use, with many repaired places and warped pieces, so we decided to start again with a completely new set of blocks. (The design itself has long been in the public domain, as Koitsu died over 70 years ago.) Our staff carver Noriko Kawasaki took a couple of months to create the block set, and from here on in, our printers will use this set to create a '2nd generation' of prints from Koitsu's design. The image is of one of Japan's most famous scenic destinations - the group of islands near Sendai known as Matsushima (Pine Islands). Just change the sail on that small boat, and this scene could be today ... ![]() ![]() The embossing on these new prints is different from the prints we made from the old blocks.
